Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper

3. Combine the egg and water, then brush over each puff pastry piece to prevent burning.

5. Wash and slice the pear before placing two pieces on top of the brie.

7. Place on the center rack and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
